1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

So no one wants the Trucks series Datsun 620? I only got 4 thinking there were people on here needing them, tis the season and that.

Sorry dude! I appreciate the thoughtfulness on your end, but I'm not collecting the 620s unfortunately.

Some F case previews, spoiler tags for easier loading. More HERE.

Jade Fairlady & that shopping cart thingie. 👍

I personally think it took a lot of people by surprise I'd imagine. Closest thing I have to it are a few loose Red Barons and one still carded which is the 25th Anniversary one.

Did it bump in value? By how much?

From a convention several years ago. All of them vintage, Japan-made Tomicas.

I have the Rolls casting in black. Also, probably newer Benz, but I love this pic of mine from back when:

Black? Can I have a pic? I have never ever seen it in black. And if the Benz is still made in Japan, it's from the late 70s, early 80s.

EDIT: Looked for it and it looks stunning in black. Gonna have to add it to my search list. Or do one, lol.

I honestly have no idea but either they're nice to have if you ask me.

And @yabiggoose, about the Datsuns, I can't do anything right now and I'm not sure when that'll change, so there's no need to hold one for me.

^ That will also apply to anyone else in here as well. 👍

Bought a silver Kyosho Ferrari 599 GTO, using some of my salary I got last night.

 

[Castrol96]

I have load of 1/64's I need to upload sometime.

@Apok

 

[a6m5]

Picked these up last night.

That gray Lamborghini, I'm pretty sure I pulled a duplicate, but funny story(not really): Like, every one out of five cars in the dump bin was this gray Lamborghini. If you have a shortage of this casting in your area, it's because couple hundred thousand landed in Oregon.

stunning

It is a nicer casting though. Classic.

Or do one

It's sort of spendy last time I checked, but you are always good at finding this stuff for nothing!

@CLowndes888 @Spacegoat are we the only regular Aussie diecast people on here?

Where do you get the 1:64's? Mainly major department stores and online or is there better places to look?

Hot Wheels and Matchbox can be Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, Target, Big W, Toy World, Toys R Us, Shell petrol stations, Myer, other miscellaneous stores.

Anything other than HW and MB can be say Games World, Toys R Us, hobby shops or online.

At least that's what I resort to here in Melbourne.

 

[VXR]

Can't wait for the mainline NSX. That bright yellow is fantastic on it.

 

[AOS-]

@a6m5, are all the Lambos you saw done in a gloss coat like that one???

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well, at least this round dropped the Charger.

Pretty sure.

We used to have Commodore Ben, but I think he moved on to LEGOs.

 

[AOS-]

lololol the exact same blue-striped silver 10SP silver metal-wing Skyline.... and a PR5 silver Corvette Roadster we've seen outside of the Fast & Furious series. Really, Mattel?

Same thing I said. I mean, maybe I see where they're coming from? But that is a little redundant. Good lord.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yeah, probably.

There are so many movies, there really shouldn't be any re-releases from set to set...

 

[Spacegoat]

@CLowndes888 @Spacegoat are we the only regular Aussie diecast people on here?

Seems like it.

We used to have Commodore Ben, but I think he moved on to LEGOs.

Wonder what ever happened to Ben? He always had cool stuff to post.

 

[Johnny1996]

Vintage Redlines anyone?

Spoiler

No. But maybe they base it off popularity of a particular car or something? Only thing I can really think of right now.

I was thinking they had to come up with 6, just because they've been doing 6 (almost) every time.

 

[Johnny1996]

I was thinking they had to come up with 6, just because they've been doing 6 (almost) every time.

Would it be cheaper for them to carry over a car or two instead of using a different design (including wheels, interior and base color) on a pre-existing casting? This was the first thing that popped into my mind.

 

[a6m5]

Thought about getting couple of cars at Toys R Us + that Star Wars Ford Transit Van that @yabiggoose posted the other day. It was beautiful, without Star Wars art on the side, I'd have bought it..... but when it scanned at $4.99 on price check, I put everything back & continued on home. $3.49 like Kroger's, I think I'd still have bought it. Really neat van.

Well, at least this round dropped the Charger.

White Supra. I will hold it & cry thinking about Paul Walker.

Wonder what ever happened to Ben? He always had cool stuff to post.

Yeah, he was talking about pulling out of the hobby for while, but I didn't think he'd really do it.

Vintage Redlines anyone?

Cool Cougar(or whatever that casting was called).

 

[Spacegoat]

eah, he was talking about pulling out of the hobby for while, but I didn't think he'd really do it.

Really? I obviously missed that.

Shame.

Vintage Redlines anyone?

Nice scores. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

Nice scores. 👍

I think commodoreben moved plus life got in the way. I remember a lot of apathy in his last posts. Hope he's okay.

Would you or @CLowndes888 be interested in a (no cost to you) small mystery diecast package? Probably won't get til mid January. I'm trying to do something festive lol.

Cool, thanks! I've only got a Kmart here so I'll just look when in Melb or a shopping centre.

Oh mate are you rural? That sucks haha.

2017 Legends of Speed Datsun Fairlady 2000

2016 Exotics Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Not a completely terrible casting by any means. At least it doesn't have the chin!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

So the 2F2F Skyline is coming back, good for me then. I didn't get it the first couple of times, so I have a chance now.
